Whittlesea residents can learn to cook with cheese, watch a Greek theatre performance or try out Macedonian dancing as part of the council’s cultural heritage program.
The council will run 13 events from March-May as part of the program, which will be headlined by a cooking with cheese demonstrations at That’s Amore Cheese on April 14.
The award-winning Thomastown cheese manufacturer will host two demonstrations led by chef Dario Di Clerico, who will show participants how to use artisan cheeses to take their dishes to the next level.
Mayor Kris Pavlidis said the council was proud of Whittlesea’s cultural diversity.
‘We have one of the largest culturally diverse populations in Victoria and are steeped in a rich, vibrant history,” she said.
“These events, demonstrations and activities provide an opportunity to share traditions and heritage and learn about our culturally diverse community.
“The program allows the community to tell their stories and recognise the many cultures that shape Victoria and our region today.”
